From seasoned epicurean to new connoisseur, the experience and essence of ExirTM Saffron Stigma and Powder is inspirational. Saffron powder is the choice of busy chefs and equally exquisite to stigma in color, ?avor and aroma. Here is a review of Dear Pharmacist, Dr. Suzy Cohen regarding Exir Saffron. Saffron imparts a distinctive taste and aroma along with a lovely yellow color to a variety of exotic dishes. I stir it into rice, soups and teas. As a pharmacist who pays attention to alternative remedies, I can't help but note that any herb that's been used for centuries likely has something going for it. Sure enough, researchers are starting to verify the amazing healing potential of saffron in clinical studies. Saffron is a super strong antioxidant with "housekeeping" benefits that clean you up from head to toe. Pay attention here because I'm going to summarize the research. Saffron has anti-cancer effects, for all sorts of tumors. It enhances male fertility. It helps relieve anxiety and tension. And ladies, it eases the discomforts of premenstrual syndrome (PMS). In Texas, researchers proved that saffron improves circulation to the retina so it's a promising treatment for macular degeneration, a major cause of blindness. One clinical trial concluded "preliminary evidence of a possible therapeutic effect of saffron extract in the treatment of mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease." It's also an anti-spasmodic. Whew! Do you see why I think Saffron is one of the best kept health secrets?! If you'd like to try a saffron make sure you buy from a reputable company, such as Exir. I have to warn you, pure authentic saffron is expensive, but worth it. Fake makers of it cut the saffron with other yellow-orange spices but Exir is 100 percent saffron, and they source from organic flowers. It's not popular (yet) so you will need to ask your local health food store to order it, or just buy it online like I did at Epicure Garden.

Paella Seasoning Sachets with Saffron

Paella Seasoning Sachets with Saffron Review



Paella Seasoning Sachets with Saffron Feature

  • 0.7oz - 19.8g
  • Contains 5 convenient sachets, each enough for a full recipe.
  • The sachets are hermetically sealed in foil-lined pouches to preserve freshness.
  • Each flavor packet contains herbs, spices, and pure Spanish saffron.
5 Sachets of ready-to-use paella seasoning made with pure Spanish Saffron from La Mancha.

Each packet contains an expertly balanced mixture of herbs, spices, and flavor bases to truly complete your paella recipe. In contrast to using a soup base or "bullion," which often contain as much sodium and MSG as they do flavor, this mix specifically blended to add all the flavor with none of the undesired additives. Each of the 5 sachets contain enough seasonings and saffron for most medium sized recipes (simply use 2 for larger paellas.)

This great product comes from Chiquilin, Valencia's premier culinary herb producer. We have personally visited the factory on several occasions and can attest to the purity and quality of this product. Generally, when purchasing pre-powdered saffron and herb mixes you must be cautious that the saffron is not "cut" with other spices to lower the manufacturers cost, but that is not the case with the products from Chiquilin. Their modern facility and strict quality control ensure that the herbs and spices are freshly picked, freshly dried, freshly packed, and freshly delivered to your kitchen.
